IPL 2014 Royal Bangalore to a thrilling last-over wins over Sunrisers

South African Player AB de Villiers smashed a super batting 41-ball 89 not out (8x6, 4x4) to help Royal Challengers Bangalore hit Sunrisers Hyderabad by 4 wickets and a ball to spare in the Indian Premier League-7th Season-2014.

After Sunrisers, asked to bat first, made 155 for 5, thanks to a 62-run partnership between captain Shikhar Dhawan (37, 36b, 4x4) and David Warner (61, 49b, 4x4, 3x6), de Villiers guided RCB to their 3rd win in six outings with a memorable knock that underlined his status as one of the best T20 batsmen in world cricket.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were kept in the hunt by seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2 for 16) and Karn Sharma (3 for 17), but the visitors could not stop the marauding de Villiers.
